In 1983, Curtis Hudson and Lisa Stevens of the group Pure Energy had written the song "Holiday", which Madonna recorded and released as the third single from her self-titled debut album. After the single's commercial success, Hudson wrote a song sounding like "Holiday", in case Warner, Madonna's record company, wanted to release a similar song to it. He named it "Spotlight" and offered it to Madonna, who recorded the song for her 1986 album True Blue. However, Madonna didn't include it in the album because she felt that it was similar in composition and structure to "Holiday".
When Madonna decided to create 'You Can Dance', she and Stephen Bray reworked the demo composed by Hudson and Madonna asked Shep Pettibone to remix it and included it on the album. John "Jellybean" Benitez, who had recorded the original demo during the True Blue sessions, assisted Pettibone in remixing the song.
"Spotlight" was featured in Japanese TV commercials that Madonna filmed for electronics company Mitsubishi. The commercial promoted their VCR model F-5.3.
The song was also used as cross-promotion for the Japanese leg of her 1987 Who's That Girl World Tour under the campaign name of "Dreams Come True".
The song was released commercially in Japan on April 25, 1988. "Spotlight" peaked at number 68 on the Oricon weekly singles chart, remaining on the chart for five weeks. It also charted on the Oricon international singles chart, reaching a peak of three on May 19, 1988, staying on the chart for ten weeks. - Hudba
I miss THIS Madonna most of ALL. 👍

She was the 80’s.
The 80’s were the best.
So she was Queen of the best decade ever.
She's the Queen of any decade. She was even better in the 90s, if you ask me.
Well, is the QUEEN POP
Yassssssssssssssssss shout it from the highest of roof tops CHer gagA who these yung people don't know Tru talent 😛🧐😃😄😁🤪😗😀
I THINK SO, THE BEST MUSIC EVER
A black
The Holy Trinity of the 80's: MJ, Prince & Madonna! All became superstars during this decade. She's the last one left. 👍😍🎶
And they were all friends, she used to sing on Prince demos back then late 70's - 80's
I dont like prince
MADONNA'S DANCE MUSIC.... SO DAMN FUN!!!!!! IF YOU'RE dEPRESSED, MADONNA IS ONE TO LISTEN TO!!!!! MY ICON
Absolutely true!
It has been proven some Madonna tracks enhance your mood as they're so lively, happy , optimistic ! She literally saved me as a teenager , as I was living in a very depressing environment. I used to listen to her records on loop. She was my escape & antidepressant.
There was a certain innocence and inner radiance in her that shined through in her younger years.
💕 Love you Madonna forever.
You know, I agree with that. It was those two characteristics that contrasted so perfectly with the very sexual Madonna and made for an epic combination.
madonna was perfect and peaked with like a prayer.shouldve stopped.she had enough songs to keep doing concerts.
Madonna Is ying and yang
@@paulbradley705 after Vogue i agree!
This woman is tremendously iconic. One of the last living legends!
Yasssssssssss she iZ there will neva b anutha PoP diva like diZ bitch 😃😄 CHER GAGa who? 😁🤪😗
Same with Janet, grace Jones and Kylie minogue 🤠

THE MOST UNDERRATED MADONNA TRACK! 💖💖💖
80s Madonna is the best
i think 2000s madonna is the best coadf was a great album
I am wondering until now why this brilliant, infectious song was not released as a single. It would have been easily no. 1. Her You Can Dance remix album reminds me of good times and Christmas 1987.
Me top💜
Me too 💜
Well,
Merry Christmas 🎄 2 u and everynite will b new year's!!!!!****".
U got that right 👍.
They wanted to push the sales of the album. Greed basically.
It might have been becoming a big hit. However, when you hear it, it might feel very similar to the Holiday-Single released much earlier around 1983. - Once I even thought it was the B-side of Holiday, but isn´t.
This is definitely one of Madonna's best songs and another clear example of why the 1980s was the decade when music was real music.
Madonnas best era by far! I want those days back forever!
80's wasn't a decade. It was another universe!
Yea!
When I saw Madonna in 82 I was amazed,and 38 years later I am still amazed by this goddess of pop.
Dam I love the eighties!!!!!
It's hard to explain how much I love this...I miss those VHS days!
This song sooooooooo should've been a U.K. single!!!!
One of her most underrated songs ever.
Queen of the 80's. 🕶️❤️
I love the 80's Madonna ❤
This woman had the 80's by the balls.
Amen to that !!!!!!!
Queen of the 80s and most of the 90s
with the help of many other people
she didn't even write holiday ffs!
@@Skiptondesigns no but the hits she did write was bigger than holiday
Don't walk up to ppl begging for their cash/Buy your own music/Buy your own stuff/And for God"s sake/Buy your own food/Now you got your own stuff/Isn't that so much better?
It's 2:30 am in France, I want to dance, push the walls, I might work out listening to this, this is so catchy !
What a treat! I had never seen this video before. Actually, I thought this was released as a single in the U.S. It seems I remember listening to it on the car radio. She was my queen from 1983 to 2001. Eighteen years is a damn good run in the world of pop music. Thank you, Madonna!
This was one of Madonna's best 80's hits and you never hear it on the radio. This music video makes the song even better.
From Brazil 2021 - Love Madonna
Now THAT"S THE MADONNA that I love! 🥰🥰🥰she s a dream!
I love, in hindsight, that she showcased her Who's that girl tour costumes in this clip. At the time of release, we had no clue that was a sneak peek on her tour. I miss those days when you had tickets for a concert without knowing what was in store for you...
The thing about Madonna when she was becoming so popular is her music was so happy and easy to remember!!! Really a far cry from the reality she was going through. She made everyone want to get up and dance our problems away. Even now in 2024!!!😊
I love this song. One of the simple best that could ever be played at a party or a dance. This is the more flamboyant, charming side of Madonna.
She had amazing energy back then.. 80s ❤️
Ive became a 'True Blue' Madonna fan during this era which I think was her best!
I havent heard this song in so long!! Its one of my favorites of her!
I love this song
her best video is an ad .
So 80sssss! I love 🥰🤩😍😘❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
that true blue album was so magical, this song is from true blue but she used it for you can dance album
This is Madonna at the peak of her reign. God save the Queen!!. She was gorgeous, then again we all are when we are young.........
OMG! I had forgotten how fine Madonna was back then. She really had some good dance moves back then.
She had great moves, footwork in her prime years.
She did some incredible spins in her Who's That Girl Tour concerts.
I love her shufflng while performing Where's The Party? in her Blonde Ambition Tour concerts
!Everyone always wanted to dance with #michaeljackson I always wanted to dance with her!!!* Maybe I will #still X :-)
I think she still looks great for being 60. Yes, she have had work done but its not too much. I love her
Still fine .
Why do I feel we can all win 😍💎🤳🌏🌎🌍
Madonna was queen of the 80's!!! AWESOME song!!
THIS IS SO GOOD CANT STOP WATCHING .
Classic Madonna i use to thrive on this song about being myself back in the day,Thank you Madonna I miss the good old day's.......
I love this song and Madonna
She looked damn good back then.. Her skin is like porcelain doll 😍
Miss this Madonna..her prime time
She’s beautiful..
Everybody is a star...like you...queen of queens...nobody's like you my super star....I love you...forever and ever ...😋😛😋😛😋😛😋😛😍🤩😘🥰
I thought I'd heard all of Madonna's 80s bangers! Why have I never heard this before?! It's amazing!
Madonna in her prime, I miss those years😢
That is it for a lot of people...1983 to 1989...maybe 1990, but that is it. I think she re-invented herself so many times, she lost the genuine Madonna that ladies wanted to be just like and that guys wanted to marry.
@@pajasa62 Bedtime Stories was a good album. Secret was a great song. I think that was 1994.
@@pajasa62 Take a Bow was an awesome ballad from that album.
@@joeyconvery2055
I did not mean it was like a light switch that got turned off at 1990. I was referring to her prime and the drop off in music quality. Yes, you can cherry pick a song here and there, but that's about all...especially for a lot of people that were into to her early on. Some of her songs in later years, she just could have practically phoned into the studio. If people in her inner circle had suggested to put some of that stuff on her first 3 albums, the idea would not only have been rejected, but Madonna probably would have fired their ass.
Think of it like the Rolling Stones where it is widely recognized that their last great album was in 1981 (Tattoo You)...ever since then they crank out a bunch of very forgettable songs and occasionally there might be a better one in there. They can keep doing that until there in their 90's...nice they are making music, but their productive careers are over.
My all-time favorite song by her!
One of the best 🩰 danceable song from the "Queen 👑 of Pop for all seasons" No one can beat from the Queen 👑 Madonna.
She's better than a councelor. Positive energy is what I get from this song.
This was brilliantly edited. You took scenes from something else and made them work seamlessly. All the cuts on point! Well done 👍🏽
From Japanese commercials
@@willsolcha7637 really? I didn't know that!
@@nahtesalinas1917 Will is correct!
Something else? The scenes are from Open Your Heart and Whos That Girl
Truth. 👍👍
MADONNA I LOVE YOU
I love Spotlight👏👏👏
One of Madonna’s underrated songs
The last living legend ❤️❤️❤️
Oh, wow-wow-wow! Surreal to see moving images from very familiar old photoshoots!
Love 80 vibes 😍✨💖
THANK YOU, this is almost impossible to see this "dark" days, its a really treasure
I'm a Madonna fan since the early '80's, and I have NEVER heard of this song!!! Thanks for posting!!
Same here! Been fan from 1983 onwards, have all the albums up to the MDNA except You can dance and have never heard this before.
The song was released on the ‘you can dance’ remix album as a new song. Album was releasted midst the ‘who’s that girl tour’ in 1987 (I think). I think it was snowed with the release of The Who’s that girl movie and the soundtrack which also contained new singles, ‘who’s that girl’, ‘causing a commotion’ and ‘the look of love’. Last two also got snowed in imo..
Same here since 1984
Grate song 🎵 🎶 bought it back in the day still have it . Love the words to this song Underrated.
I remember this song
I remember this. I remember that in my hood I was the only one that knew and loved this song. I was also the only one that was into Madonna and knew in my soul how fkng fantastic she was/ is. 💖
If this bad been released, it would gone to No.1 on the dance charts.
I think she sang better in the 80s than now. Her voice is stronger.
Her voice seemed to really change in around 1990 and it lost its power and her signature 'helium' notes
Madonna Is Madonna....Who can "compete" with Mrs. Ciccone?😜 STUNNING voice 🔥
Madonna the best
Fab olous 80 !!!
Have not heard this in years! The video is so well done!! Love the "Who's That Girl" animation! 😺
EVERYBODY IS STAR TI AMO MADONNA👍💖
PURE 80s Touch !.
Perfeito
she was famous when being famous was magical before the internet.
Great messages for woman and girls .
Girl power
Madonna already used to play with much younger boys back then. Nothing has changed till today.
I wish she was taking over the radio air waves like she used to
Yes!!!
This was for you can dance album
Lo mejor de madonna en 80s
Love this album...
This is one of my favorite Madonna songs and it should have been on True Blue, it would have been a huge hit. It is somewhat similar to Holiday but I still think it would have done really well for her if she had released it as a single.
It was released as a single in japan 1988 april
@@franckscotty5861 Not in 83 I think it was 1987
Sorry yes 1988
it's on the You Can Dance album . it came out after True Blue in 88
Quem foi rainha, nunca perde a majestade...
My childhood

Awesome! Love ❤️ her music 🎼
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL, LOVE YOU MADONNA
Dennis no she Isent hurtful I have seen more hurtful women then madonna like Sam fox and Kim Wilde and girls loud
Great song and well put together video. Her greatest era. Her most fun, friendly and accessible era, with the best music.
How many of today s current artists will still be around in 40 years time like MADONNA?? Great to see this video!
I can tell this edit is straight from the heart. I love it! *Bravo*
💖💖💖
Wow, it was and for the fans. Thank you so much. XO
"Causing a commotion" is another song that has that cartoon edit from the movie "Whose that girl", its so good and cute!!!
Madonna said this sounded too much like "Holiday" and yet I can only see it a smidge.
Whoa ! Can't believe I'd never seen this. Thanks for posting. 80s Madonna is as good as it gets.
Love this song great dance track xxx
It feels like Madonna has released a new song. I can't remember ever hearing this one. I love the intro. And that look she gives at 0:08 😍
This is the stand out track from You Can Dance. Pity it wasn't released as a single.
This video mix is everything that this song deserved. Thank you!!!
Its a shame how people talk madonna down know a days those r the people that didnt grow up in the 80s she is gorgeous
A truly Icon !!! Madonna made the 80s...!!!
LA REYNA, MAS FANTASTICA Y MARAVILLOSA QUE NUNCA!!...💖😍🎶😉👍🎵💕✨
Madonna se ve mágica.
Madonna is the definition of talent
This woman has always had a sort of nuclear power inside. I loved this song, too long forgotten, and she was perfectly tuned on the track. Songs like these really put back the clock to my best memories. Thank you to M' and who uploaded the video!
Never seen this video before
Dreams do come true if you work hard to achieve them we control our minds we shouldn't let them control us
1980 la mejor época de música pop..y Madonna única!!! Marcó una historia!!!! Mi idola por siempre!!!
Peak Madonna!
